Battlestar Galactica CCG

The Battlestar Galactica CCG arrives in stores in May!
We have been lucky enough to get ahold of a Demo deck for the game.  I was so excited!
The game mechanics look good, those that liked Decipher SWCCG will see a few things in it I am sure, and miltiplayer was built into the game from the ground up, not an after-htought, which I found interesting.

I for one am very excited about this and will definately be playing!
We plan on supporting the game and holding events and tournaments as well.

If anyone wants to come by Saturday afternoon, after 4 I would be more than willing to go through the demo with them.

Once I get more demo kits in, I’ll send one your way.

Once Nice feature - no mana problems, you can always turn any card into a source to power out other cards

Yeah, I like that aspect.  There are no ‘dead cards’. 
Every card in hand can be used as a resource if that?s what the player needs at the time. Whether played as an asset or played as a supply card, a card from the hand placed in a resource area means more cards can be played next turn.

I also like that players are involved in making important decisions during every turn, including their opponents.  There is no wait between player turns as in some ccgs.

Kudo’s to Rob for the event on the 3rd of June.  It was obvious he put in plenty of time with the rules of a new game so he could keep things running smooth. Hope everyone had a fun time.  The constructed will be amazing I’m sure.

Agreed.  I hadn’t played a game like this since Magic back in about ‘93-’94.  BSG turned out to be a LOT of fun.  This was my first time playing the game, and the sealed deck type, and had a GREAT time.  Rob was a fantastic, attentive, and PATIENT host!  Also, all of the participants I met and played with were nice and friendly!

VERY much looking forward to the constructed deck format next week.  Are there going to be any non-event BSG games at Madness?  Might be a nice way to unwind after work sometime.

I’d like to also set Wednesday nights as BSG night, in addition to Saturdays.  Stay tuned for details, but that’s what I’m thinking right now.
